Abstract

Using dimensional reduction, we derive the reparametrization-invariant electromagnetic self-interaction of a test string. The exact non-singular solution corresponding to a stationary circular loop is specified. The collapse is dynamically prevented provided n_en_{m ≠ 0}, where n_e (n_m) count total number of electric charges (magnetic fluxons). The selection rule n_e+n_m = 2N (N is an integer) suggests that a fundamentally-charged loop must carry current and hence acquire spin ∼n_en_m.
